Leaf Collection To Start Oct. 27

Residents who want to dispose of leaves before the collection may use leaf bins that will be put out in various locations beginning this week. Bagged leaves may be emptied into the bins, and the bags must then be removed from the premises. Only leaves should be put into the bins.

The bins are located on: Church Street at the former railroad right of way; Eleanor Drive; Elm Hill Road at the railroad right of way; Henry Park on South Street, between the Little League fields; Legion Field on Regan Road, in the parking lot; the transfer station at 341 Talcottville Road; and the city lot on West Street, entering through the driveway of the Nye Street firehouse.

The public works department will release the schedule for the vacuum collection later in the month.
